I thought it would be worth giving a head's up on this attempt to stop
me from openly complaining on Wikimedia Commons when abusive anti-LGBT
language or inappropriate turning of discussion into LGBT related
trolling occurs:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/…
I am one of the most well known openly gay contributors to Commons,
possibly the most well known on that project. This requested topic ban
is from someone who has been pestering me for a few years, recently
culminating with calling me a "raging gay". It'll be interesting to
see if the WMF policies against harassment can make any difference to
the censorship of LGBT contributors that are being griefed in this
way. It's a sad day when LGBT contributors are not given any process
to make open complaints that can be discussed by the wider community.
